The mathematical form of three travelling waves are given by

\begin{aligned} & y_1=(2 {~cm}) \sin (3 x-6 t), \\ & y_2=(3 {~cm}) \sin (4 x-12 t) \text {, } \\ & \text { and } y_3=(4 {~cm}) \sin (5 x-11 t) \\ \end{aligned}

of these waves,

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Wave 2 has greatest wave speed and wave 3 has maximum transverse string speed

Option D (Wave 2 has greatest wave speed and wave 3 has maximum transverse string speed) is correct because wave speed is

\omega/k

and maximum transverse speed is

A\omega
